I used 30ml of honey syrup (3:1) instead of straight honey. Not sure if I'd like it as a hangover cure, but it's definitely a nice dessert cocktail.

This is pretty much the milk and honey cocktail, except double the cream rather than milk. Same garnish even.

I’d not spotted the similarity. I’ve added links between the two cocktails (under “Variant” above).
